Gastroenteritis

I’m not sure why, as I’m only 27, have had this for 10 years now, it’s obviously not going away, and I’ve tried almost every medication there is without long-term success. I’m severely frustrated at this point in time, and after my appointment next week I think I’ll be trying to find another doctor and get a second opinion.

Until I get a diagnosis I have resolved to be calm, patient, keep a positive mental attitude and distract myself with pleasant activities whenever I can. I am in the fortunate position of not having to care for anyone else and I do appreciate the fact that my time is my own. I can concentrate on things like diet modification and rest.

In another case-control study conducted by Meucci et al. among dyspeptic patients, it was noted that this group of patients suffer significantly from migraine compared to the control group. It was suggested that dyspeptic patients of the dismotility-like or with nausea / vomiting referred for endoscopy be worked up for a diagnosis of migraine. Given the completely normal endoscopic appearance seen in 90% of the migraineurs it was concluded that dyspeptic symptoms may be a consequence of the migraine (5).

Some of the relatively mild causes of nausea that can lead to vomiting include food allergies, stomach flu, food poisoning, acid reflux, and migraine headaches. Some of the more serious causes include head injury, diabetes, vertigo/stroke, heart problems, pancreatitis, appendicitis, accidental drug ingestion, bowel obstruction and cancer. Heartburn – an uncomfortable feeling of burning and warmth occurring in waves rising up behind the breastbone toward the neck. It is usually due to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), the rise of stomach acid back up into the esophagus.

I stopped seeing the specialists because they couldnâ€™t find a diagnosis. I began seeing a doctor who is a regular primary care doctor, not a specialist! He sat and talked with me for about 1/2 hour. He told me that it sounds like I have GERD, and he gave me samples of a different PPI since I have no insurance. About 3 days after taking the medication I completely stopped vomiting.

though some people have GERD without heartburn. Other symptoms include pain in your chest and/or abdomen, difficulty swallowing, dry cough, hoarseness, nausea, vomiting, bad breath, wheezing, and interrupted sleep. A sallow or yellow color of the skin, or yellowish brown spots on the face and other parts of the body; dullness or drowsiness, with frequent headache; bitter, or bad taste in the mouth, dryness of the throat, and internal heat; palpitation of the heart; in many cases a dry, teasing cough, with sore throat; unsteady appetite, sour stomach, with a raising of the food and choking sensation in the throat, which is often attributed to worms; sickness and vomiting; distress; heaviness, or a bloated and full feeling about the stomach and sides, which is often attended with pains and tenderness; aggravating pains in the sides, back, or breast, and about the shoulders; restlessness at night, with a tired and sore feeling of the whole body on rising in the morning; colic, pain and soreness through the bowels, with heat; constipation of the bowels, alternating with frequent attacks of diarrhea; piles, flatulence, nervousness; all-gone feelings; thick, turbid or high-colored urine; coldness of the extremities; rush of blood to the head, with symptoms of apoplexy; numbness of the limbs, especially at night; tenderness and fullness in right side, which often extends to the left; cold chills, alternating with hot flashes; female weakness and irregularities; fainting spirits, &c.

was “raw” because of all the acid reflux and was immediately put on Nexium which I took for about 3 months. I did notice an improvement during those months but the idea of a lifetime commitment to taking this drug bothered me so I researched other alternative ways to cope with it, which did help a little but by any means, do not prevent the GERD symptoms from occurring. If you experience nausea, vomiting or diarrhea with your headaches, talk to your doctor about treatment options. Treating the headache usually relieves gastrointestinal symptoms.

I just wish someone could do something to make me feel better. I can’t imagine feeling like this the rest of my life. I started feeling nauseated around 8 pm. I chewed a Tums, but it didn’t help. I went to bed at 11 pm and I was feeling more nauseated.

Constipation may also cause abdominal pain. It may also be caused by a pulled muscle in your abdomen or by an injury.

More unusual is tinnitus. Doctor gave me something for hay fever! In all honesty, not being able to eat without puking up is not a symptom of hay fever. I think it is gastroenteritis. Nobody to turn to for help, I am feeling very weak and low.

She and we thought it was a bad case of the nerves; thought it was psychological. On day four she went to the ER and was put on an IV for hours for extreme dehydration. She has been diagnosed with gastroenteritis. So it was the virus which made her anxious not the anxiousness that made her sick. So you must force fluids during these episodes; easier said than done.

When Do Acid Reflux Symptoms Occur?

Shortly after starting this treatment all of my GERD symptoms disappeared and I reduced my intake of Tums to one or two tablets a week. After 5 years on this program I recently had a follow-up endoscopy which revealed that I still had some esophageal erosions, although somewhat less than at the time of the first exam.

I had gone to a gastroenterologist after my first child and complained to him about the heartburn and back pain. He wasnâ€™t concerned about the heartburn and thought I had an anal fissure. During last summer, I was diagnosed with GERD. I had to go to the doctor’s at least 9 times before they found out what it was.
